"DEAR SISTER,

Is there a best time to pray, given all the activities each day holds for me—working at my job and caring for and being with my family makes a very full day? Also, I’m not fully awake first thing in the morning and already mighty tired by the time I lay my head on the pillow. I thought I would “Ask a Carmelite Sister” for her input on how I can find some time to pray.

DEAR FRIEND,

I commend highly your desire to find the “right time to pray.”  During a retreat, a priest shared that each person has a built-in clock.  We have expressions to confirm his statement. People say, “I’m not an early morning person” or “I do my best work at night when everyone else is asleep.”  So, your question is a good one."
